# Notes on Sleep Mode

Read the following precautions before using Sleep mode.

- Some software applications may not support Sleep mode. When running such applications, exit them before placing your VAIO computer into Sleep mode.

- Some USB devices may not support Sleep mode. When your VAIO computer resumes from Sleep mode, the computer may not recognize such USB devices, depending on the type and number of connected USB devices.
  If you cannot place the computer into Sleep mode, disconnect all USB devices before placing the computer into Sleep mode.

- If your VAIO computer enters Sleep mode when Windows or the computer is unstable, it may not resume from Sleep mode. The following operations are recommended:

- Before placing your VAIO computer into Sleep mode, save your files and close running software.

- Shut down your VAIO computer periodically.

- Depending on the condition of Windows, your VAIO computer cannot enter Sleep mode.

- If your VAIO computer enters Sleep mode while running a task, such as DVD writing, the task may be suspended.

- If you unplug your VAIO computer from an AC power source while the computer is on or in Sleep mode, you will lose all unsaved data.

- In Sleep mode, if the power source for your VAIO computer is cut off (due to power failure, etc.), the power indicator light will turn off. Press the power button to resume the computer from Normal mode.

- We recommend that you turn off the power switch on the bottom of your wireless mouse when you place your VAIO computer into Sleep mode. This will prevent the computer from returning to Normal mode if the mouse is unintentionally moved. (Wireless mouse supplied models)
